Page 27 of Bounty Hunter's Obsession

Sometimes I wonder what’s going to end up there, but seeing Hayden walk into our bedroom with our daughter strapped to his chest makes me focus on what’s right in front of me.

He’s the sweetest when it comes to his girls.

“She’s being fussy with this bottle, babe,” he says with a look of confusion on his face. He holds it and flips it upside down, squeezing it to see how much milk is coming out. It’s coming out in drops. “This is why. She’s not getting enough. I’d be mad too.”

“I can feed her, baby. Let her get it from the tap,” I tell him with a wink as I shuffle myself into the bed to sit up. He brings her over to me, but the minute he tries to remove her from the wrap, she starts screaming.

I laugh and stare at him. “Sorry, Daddy. Looks like it’s not the bottle, she just wants you. I get it. All I want is you too.”

My eyes drift down to the crotch of his boxers, slipping my hand inside to stroke his thick cock. He fakes a gasp and takes a step away. “Unhand me, woman. Not in front of the baby.”

“Hayden, you’ve fucked me eight ways from Sunday while she was inside of me. She can’t see what I’m doing, Daddy. Come here and let me take care of you for once.”

He smiles, bending down to kiss me. Passion swirls around and I can feel him getting ready for me, but he pulls away from our kiss with a devilish grin.

“You are determined to undo me in front of our daughter. Let me finish feeding her and putting her down. Then you can have your way with me, Mrs. Haven.”

“You promise, Daddy?”

“Anything for you.”

“Anything?” I ask with a grin.

He chuckles, “Well maybe not anything. The last time I let you jump through that hoop, I ended up tied to the bed. Chocolate syrup-stained sheets is not something I want to relive.”

“Aww, I thought you liked that.”

He leans down, kissing me on the forehead. “Iloveyou, but yeah no, don’t like that.”

“How about we keep the ropes and you tie me up?”

“Babe, I will do anything for you and Harriet. But do you think this little girl here is going to sleep long enough for when I get you in the ropes? Call Harper and tell her to grab her niece for a few hours. She won’t do it if I ask, but if Momma needs some time, she’ll be happy to jump in.”

“Harper will do anything her big brother asks her to,” I tell him. “It’s just that you don’t ask. You bark. I’ll call her and you get that little one down for a nap. I want to give you reason number three to call you Daddy.”

“Yes, ma’am.”

EXTENDED EPILOGUE

HAYDEN

Ten Years Later

“DAD. Dad. Dad. Dada. Dad. Dad.” Six-year-old Haley loves to shout every version of my name if I’m not responding quickly enough.

“Hales, give me a second, darlin’. I’m working with Hana right now. Where’s Momma?” I ask, hoping that Halo can wrangle our youngest daughter so I can get the middle one set for her karate class.

“Dad, what if I can’t do it?” Hana asks, eyes as green as her mother’s begin to water and I cannot let her break me. I will crumble if she starts and the last thing the women in my life need to see is this big ass bounty hunter balling next to his 8-year-old daughter.

I kneel down in front of her, pushing her dark brown hair behind her ears, and kiss her on the forehead. “Then we will work on whatever we need to work on until you can. But you’ve done this before, Han. You’re so much stronger than you give yourself credit for. Don’t quit before you try.”

“Or, you can fail and just call Dad to come in and kick some ass,” Harriet says with a smile as she inhales a handful of waffles. My god, she eats like her uncles.

“Language. Don’t let your mother hear you talking like that,” I warn our oldest.

Harriet approaches and ruffles my hair like I’m a damn puppy and kisses me on the cheek. “Dad, who do you think I heard talking like that in the first place?”

Halo comes into the kitchen, belly first as our latest addition roasts in her womb. Only a few more weeks to go and then little Hayden Jr. will be here. Finally, some more testosterone, but I wouldn’t trade in my ladies for anything in this world.
